Turok Dinosaur Hunter for Nintendo 64. The first in the series for the Nintendo 64.

In his way stands not just a buncha dinosaurs, but guerrilla warriors, giant insects, alien-like fighters, monsters galore, and enough crazy and creepy stuff to keep you twitching.

But that won't be too much of a problem, cause not only do you possess a will of steel (I hope), but also an extensive array of weapons; everything from the simple bow and knife to the screaming Minigun and the all-powerful Plasmacaster.

While this game packs all the action-punch in the world, it does have just a few flaws.For i...
